I really hope that Capaldi brings it back with just as little explanation as when Pertwee introduced it.

This is my main hope for the upcoming series, as well. That, and since UNIT's back, they really need to bring back Bessie. Why not go full-Pertwee?

It's my birthday, and as a surprise, my wife got me a Doctor Who book. She picked the one she did because, in her words, "I know this one is your favorite Doctor."

Which book and which Doctor? Well.



So, yeah, my wife knows what's up.

Five is my least favorite Doctor. He's neat in concept. After seven years of a very ego-driven and self-assured Doctor. you get a Doctor who doesn't trust himself and keeps messing up. But most of his stories are boring as Hell to me. I like "Caves of Androzani," where he kills everyone but Peri, and I like him in "The Light at The End," where he almost kills himself by bringing someone into the TARDIS. "Circular Time" and "Spare Parts" are good, too, but not because of Five.

Circular Time wouldn't work with any Doctor other than Five. The themes of the stories are deeply linked to the character qualities - and the fandom perception of - the Fifth Doctor.

This is true. I guess I'm being unfair with Five. I still find him pretty boring.

How do you find Kinda and Snakedance?

Kinda's pretty OK. Snakedance, I have not seen yet. It, Time-Flight, and Four To Doomsday are the only Five stories I haven't seen.

Same question but I bought it 17 years ago

Have you skimmed through it yet? Or have you just run across it every couple years, staring at the cover and wondering "Is this the day I read it?" Like I have with around 1/3 of my Stephen King books.

Today's political update has been brought to you by a guy who dresses up like elderly British men for fun.

Okay, I laughed at this.
